About
OverviewObby But You Are A Worm puts you in control of a worm squirming through 400 obstacle-course stages spread across four distinct biomes. Progress saves automatically, so you can quit and pick up exactly where you left off. This guide covers how to get started, how each biome is structured, and what to do when you get stuck.

01
Getting started as a worm
Step
In short
The controls and save system are simple enough that you can jump straight into the first stage without any setup.
When you load in for the first time, you earn the 'Be like a worm!' badge automatically — no extra steps needed. From there, clearing a stage moves you to the next one, and failing sends you back to the start of that same stage so you can try again immediately. Because everything saves on its own, you never need to worry about losing your spot.
- Move through the course worm movement feels different from a normal Roblox character, so give yourself a few stages to get used to it.
- Clear the stage reach the end and you advance automatically.
- Fail and retry you restart from the beginning of the same stage, not from scratch.
- Quit whenever your position saves automatically, so come back whenever you like.

TableIn short
Finishing every stage in a biome earns you a badge, and clearing all alpha stages earns a final badge on top of that.
The 400 stages are divided into four biomes. Work through each one fully to collect its badge. The table below shows each biome and what completing it unlocks.
| Biome | Badge you earn | What you must do |
|---|---|---|
| Grasslands | Grasslands Explorer | Complete every Grasslands stage |
| Volcano | Volcano Conqueror | Complete every Volcano stage |
| Clouds | Cloud Climber | Complete every Clouds stage |
| Mountain Tops | Snowy Mountains | Complete every Mountain Tops stage |

Tips for getting past hard stages
Tips
In short
Patience and pattern-reading matter more than speed when you hit a wall.
Take a breath before retrying.
Tips worth knowing
- Watch the obstacle move through at least one full cycle before you attempt it — the pattern rarely changes.
- Worm controls behave unlike a standard character — if something isn't working, try a different angle of approach.
- Because retries are unlimited, treat early attempts as learning the obstacle's pattern.
05
Worm hats and cosmetic unlocks
Summary
In short
Hats change how your worm looks but have no effect on how stages play out.
As you push further through the stages, you unlock hats for your worm. These are purely cosmetic and do not make any stage easier or harder. You do not need to spend Robux to get them — stage progress is all that is required.
- Source playing through stages.
- Effect on gameplay none; appearance only.

Common questions
FAQDoes my progress save if I close the game?
Yes — the game saves all progress automatically. When you come back, you start from the stage you last reached rather than from the beginning.
How many stages are there, and will more be added?
There are 400 stages right now. The developers have said more stages are planned.
Do the worm hats do anything in gameplay?
No — they are cosmetic only and have no effect on how any stage plays. You unlock them by progressing through stages, and no purchase is required.
What happens if I fail a stage?
You restart from the beginning of that same stage. You can retry as many times as you need, so there is no penalty for failing.
